An RF network and a dual-tuned surface coil are described for obtaining proton-decoupled, NOE enhanced 19F spectra from a whole body clinical imager operating at 1.5 Tesia. The network removes 19F frequency noise from the decoupler transmitter, and prevents preamplifier
The validation of an analytical method for the measurement of the unnatural amino acid alpha-fluoro-beta-alanine (AFBA), the main metabolite of the antineoplastic drug 5-fluorouracil (5FU), in urine for the biological monitoring of the exposure of hospital workers to the drug

A sensitive and selective quantitative method to determine alpha-fluoro-beta-alanine (FBAL), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and capecitabine (Cape) from a single human plasma aliquot (50 microL) has been developed and validated. First, 5-FU and Cape were extracted by liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) using a

Cardiotoxicity is a rare complication occurring during 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) treatment for malignancies. We herein report the case of a 70-year-old man with 5-FU-induced cardiotoxicity, in whom a high serum level of alpha-fluoro-beta-alanine (FBAL) was observed. The patient, who had unresectable

Fluorine MR spectroscopy ((19)F MRS) is an indispensable tool for assessing the pharmacokinetics of fluorinated drugs. Since the metabolism of 5-fluorouracil (5FU), a frequently used cytotoxic drug, is expected to be different in normal liver and in tumor tissue, spatial
